High Crime Area

Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Saville's Square is located in Leeds, near Morley. Crime is a significant concern, with 921 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 337 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 8 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (3), restaurant (2), and fast_food (1). The nearest transport stop is 21m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 373m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 10% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
